U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis has written a column (May 9) expressing his convictions that rape and the exploitation of women and girls is wrong. Of course, we all agree with that. This is clearly campaign literature to overcome his poor record in congress.

Has he represented minimum-wage earners in his district? Has he represented women who are not getting equal pay for doing the same job as men? Did he represent the people in his district when he voted with Ted Cruz to shut down the government, costing taxpayers $24 million? Ted Cruz is not in this district. Has Davis represented the uninsured in his district?

He has sold his soul to the Koch brothers. He will vote according to agenda of the billionaires, or they will not support him in his campaign. Last I noticed, the Koch brothers are not in his district.

Is he suggesting he differs from Judge Ann Callis on the issue of rape?

Davis has had his chance to demonstrate that his loyalties are to this district and not to the Koch brothers. He has failed to do that.

No one can outspend the Koch brothers. We must rescue our district from being bought.

Callis will make a much better representative of the people in this district.
